Tips For Surviving ‘National Selfie Day’ In Wyoming

Today is more than just the first day of summer, it's also National Selfie Day. To celebrate, here are a few pro tips for observing National Selfie Day in the Cowboy State without being attacked by a dangerous animal.

1. If you’re looking for that perfect #bisonselfie but you don’t want to get airlifted to the nearest hospital, 25 yards is the ideal distance to keep. If you’re a slow runner, give yourself a few extra yards.

2. Should you encounter a bear, remain at least 50 yards away when taking your #bearselfie. Double that distance if you’re posing with a mother bear and her cubs.

3. Of course, you’ll also want to get a #mooseselfie. Remember, as you approach the moose, do so slowly and from the side.

If you see the moose licking its snout or cocking its head, get the hell out of there. But whatever you do, don’t run. The massive mammal might be tempted to chase you. Instead, announce your presence and slowly back up in the direction you came.
